You can use a Lookup component to check if the record exists in the destination or not.

Thanks for the reply.

The table has the row with person Id 204

The PersonId 204 row is updated with bonus to without bonus(Say 10 to 15)..

I want to update the particular row but the person id is already present in the destination.

If i use lookup task then it will not update the particular row.

Let no know if there any task for ths plz

With the Lookup task you will check if the person with ID 204 is already in the destination or not.

If it is, you retrieve the bonus column (call it bonus_dest). Then you compare it with the bonus column of the source in a conditional split. If the values are the same, you don't need to do an update. If they are different, you need to do the update with an OLE DB Command.

Be aware that the OLE DB Command executes a SQL statement for every row, so it is really slow for large datasets.

Hi guys,

Variables:

Name : FileName

Scope : Package

Datatype : String.

Value : E:\Farooq\SSIS data Sources ( In this folder there are multiple excel files)

I added derived column task to the flow and in the derived column, i used this varible but i'm not getting proper result and it is throwing error.

Added to this, I configured the excel expression properties as

Excel File Path : @User::FileName

I'm not getting the desired result.

It is not taking the second file.. And it is not inserting the file name too.

I mean the actual error description. The one that shows in the output tab in BIDS.
